It's all personal opinions, and it's not my place to make demands, but if for example you'd said you've watched the videos on this thread of Whitney, and are still of the view that she wasn't as good as Annie Lennox, and here's a video of Annie Lennox to prove it, then fair enough. I wouldn't have agreed with it, but likely wouldn't have reacted as I did.
I do rate Lennox btw, she's in probably my top 50 vocalists.

check out 3.55-4.25 in the video of the OP (when she was twenty f****ing 22 years old), and then by all means tell me Annie Lennox was a better singer.

Is that a valid reason to remove my post? I've seen enough of Whitney and Lennox to know which one I prefer. The only song I like by Whitney is My Love Is Your Love.

it's not about the best songs, it's about best musicians
Noted that you prefer Lennox to Houston

I can admittedly get very weird about Houston.
It's abnormal.
So was she though.

I've listened to all the rap artists live, and the only one who would be a contender for the great MUSICIANS would be Notorious BIG. He's head and shoulders above the rest in terms of the quality of his live musicianship.
